Fire on the Downline Lyrics by Edguy

Age of the Joker

2011

No, no time to ponder
Take your feet in your hands, swept by the sea
Oh, it's too late to wonder where we went wrong
There's no time to win, to lose and to feel
Cries, they go unsung
Memories of plenty fading away
Cries of dying dreams
Where will they run to when there's nowhere to go?
See them kids worn-out and pale
To the promised land they're drawn
All the way with a dream that turned into fear
To the other side where the wild winds blow
And the golden rivers flow
They've come all the way for survival
A long trail of tears
Take a look into the eyes of confusion
They carry the torch into the sea of delusion
Fire on the downline
It's the way of the world
Always out to find another dime
Fire on the downline
The game is on
To the evil above you crawl
While you're floundering and kicking around
The wheel of days and nights and no time to sleep
To the other side to one storey higher
Where one less digit is your name
Dying to live one more sunrise, defying fatigue
Throw yourself into a final illusion
See them dive into the tide of the grain
Fire on the downline
It's the way of the world
Always out to find another dime
Fire on the downline
The game is on
Fire on the downline (fire)
It's the way of the world
Always out to find another dime
Fire on the downline
The game is on
[Solo]
Fire on the downline
It's the way of the world
Always out to find another dime
Fire on the downline
The game is on
Fire on the downline (fire)
It's the way of the world
Always out to find another dime
Fire on the downline
The game is on
